For my location assignment I was required to explore the techniques used and effects created with night and low-light photography. I enjoyed this shoot as scenes look very different at night and there are many ways to experiment. I created light trails by using long shutter speeds and a tripod, I also worked with the artificial light that was available from street lamps, in buildings and other sources. I then edited the photographs in PhotoShop CS6 and Camera Raw; after tweaking the exposure and colour temperature slightly in C.R. I either converted to black and white and created a Levels layer or reduced the saturation of the image. I didn't really like the orange cast produced by the tungsten street lights so felt they were stronger images after being edited. Overall I am happy with the outcome of these images and would like to experiment with this type of photography further.
